restraint.
WARNING
■ When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be
unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
● Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely installed.
● After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
● When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.

■Automatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call
the eCall control center.* The answering operator receives the vehi-
cle’s location, the time of the incident and the vehicle VIN, and
attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the situa-
tion. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the operator
automatically treats the call as an emergency and contacts the
nearest emergency services provider (112 system etc.) to describe
the situation and request that assistance be sent to the location.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 9 9 )
■Manual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency, press the “SOS” button to call the
eCall control center.* The answering operator will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the situation, and dispatch the necessary
assistance required.
Make sure to open the cover
before pressing the “SOS” but-
ton.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the operator that you are
not experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 9 9 )
